Restriction of Processing: Restrict How to Process Personal Data

When situations require you to do so, prevent the processing of your customers’ data. We give guidance to help you restrict forms of data processing. That way, you can work toward complying with the laws that are important to your company.

Prevent the processing of your shoppers’ data when situations require you to do so. Data subjects can request that a merchant stops accessing or modifying personal data. The merchant needs to ensure that personal data will not be further processed by any party. We give guidance on how to restrict forms of data processing. That way, you can work toward complying with the laws that are important to your company. For instance, a shopper has a dispute and asks that their information is not accessed until their dispute is resolved.

Note: As new data protection and privacy solutions are launched, Commerce Cloud will provide specific documentation to help merchants understand how these new features can be used to help with compliance. This will cover existing tools and also extend to new release items. This page will be updated as more restriction of processing functionality is made available. Check back for updates in future 2018 releases!

Many data protection and privacy regulations can require you to restrict processing of shoppers’ personal data. We’ve listed a few of the regulations that are important to many companies collecting and processing their shoppers’ data.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), Japan
Privacy Act, Australia
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada

If you encounter situations that require you to restrict data processing for any of your shoppers, review these common requests and the procedures related to them.
